Brief Answer:
Further elaboration needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query. However, I would need you to elaborate on the condition. Please mention the complaints, how long they have been there, upload any medical notes/prescriptions (if relevant) and based on them I will guide you further. As such, eye drops may not be sufficient for 'fluid behind the eye' and oral medicines might be required. I will guide you further after checking your inputs.

I will await your response.

Brief Answer:
Urgent interventions are to be sought.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Sorry for not being able to respond faster. In case of retinal detachment prompt interventions are required. Surgery may be needed depending upon the stage. I understand that financial crunch is a botheration but any delay could risk your total loss of eye sight. You would have to determine whether you are willing to take the risk. Three weeks is a relatively long period in this regard and things could have worsened to quite some extent by now. I doubt if eye drops would suffice. In any case, urgently seek ophthalmological evaluation and treatment. Tell the doctor about your situation and I am sure that he would try to offer you a solution that would not weigh you down.
